apped my student and is demanding I meet them for negotiations."Ye Bufan began to change his clothes while speaking.An Yimo said, "I'll go with you too.""You should just stay home and rest. I'll go wi...Lu Yudie seemed to see through his thoughts and added, “If you want to buy this manual, you can. After all, the reputation of the Rebirth from Fire Sutra is now tarnished. I believe no one will bid against you.”

But when you buy it back to cultivate, be sure to be careful, don't force it, and absolutely don't get carried away and go crazy.

Ye Bufan said, "I understand."

"Let's go, the auction is about to start. Let's get there now."

Luo Yuedie finished speaking and walked out the door first. When the two people reached the entrance of the marketplace, Ye Bufan once again put on his ghost mask face.

It's better to keep a low profile when attending auctions, according to his recent experience.

Luo Yudie didn't continue to stay with him, she went to the backstage of the mall by herself, letting Ye Bufan enter the mall alone.

Ye Bufan strode inside. As a branch of the Tianfeng Empire, this marketplace was more than twice the size of Tianlang City and even more luxuriously decorated.

Led by a female attendant, he found his designated seat number 72 according to his badge.

Although this place is much more upscale than Tianlang City, some things remain the same, such as people's fawning and worship of those in power.

He had not been seated long when a commotion arose at the entrance of the marketplace, followed by a young man in fine clothes who strode in.

"Li Shao, you're here!"

"Good day, young Master Li!"

Upon seeing the young man in fine clothes, all the people present stood up and greeted him, expressing their flattery. The scene was exactly the same as at the marketplace in Tianlang City.

Ye Bufan also turned his head to look, but his gaze only swept over the young man in fine clothes before falling on an old man behind him.

The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with an unremarkable appearance, just like an ordinary neighborhood father.

But Ye Bufan could feel the aura of a powerful warrior. This was clearly a master at the Xianxu realm.

The young man in fine clothes was named Li Tong, and he came from the Li family of Tianfeng City.

He ignored the fawning faces before him, his eyes scanning and landing on Ye Bufan. His gaze held a hidden murderous intent.

Ye Bufan was taken aback. He was sure this was the first time he had seen this person, so why did they have such a strong animosity towards him

The most crucial point is, even if he was an enemy, I was wearing a mask. How did he recognize me

Li Tong just glanced, then let out a cold snort, and walked towards the VIP seats in front with a look of disdain on his face.

The entire market returned to calm, everything was tranquil, and the auction officially began.

The auctioned items and the Tianlang City are not much different in nature, just a higher level and a higher price. Here, there are many wealthy patrons who spend money like water.

Ye Bufan had already looked over the list. He wasn't interested in the weapons and martial arts techniques that others treasured so much; he was only waiting for the scroll of the Huo Huo Lian Ti Jue.

Finally, half of the auction had passed. As the eighth item to be auctioned, the Body Tempering Art was brought onto the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most important item for auction today, the Heaven Grade Upper Rank martial art, Fire Tempering Body Sutra…"

The auctioneer on stage was eloquent, as this item had already failed to sell at the last auction. This time, he pulled out all the stops, trying to persuade the guests in front of him to bid.

Unfortunately, the reputation of the Fire Tempering Scripture is too bad. Even though he spoke eloquently, everyone present still looked at him with disdain.

“Everyone, the starting price for this top-grade Heaven Rank skill is only 200 million gold coins. This is simply a pie falling from the sky.”

Don't miss this opportunity, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If you miss it, there will be no other.

Now the auction begins, each bid must be no less than 20 million...

The auctioneer called out for a long time, but there was not a sound from the audience, not even one person raising their paddle.

“This…”

The auctioneer's heart sank. He had already used all his tricks, but he still couldn't persuade the customer in front of him. It seemed that today's auction was going to be another failure.

"Isn't it just two hundred million gold coins This young master bought it, and I'll take it back to play with!"

As they were talking, Li Tong in the front row raised his sign, "I offer two hundred million."

When someone bid, the crowd buzzed with excitement.

"My goodness, Young Master Li actually bought this thing back I heard this is a scam, it's completely a counterfeit…"

"If you know something, wouldn't Li Daren know it too He just has a lot of money and wants to buy a toy..."

"Li Shao is Li Shao. Two hundred million gold coins just to buy a toy This spending is too generous..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion. In their eyes, the scroll of the Burning Body Scripture belonged to Li Tong. After all, this thing was infamous and no one else would bid on it. The auctioneer let out a long sigh of relief. He thought so too. However, even if just one person bid, it was not bad. It was better than being unsold.

Li Shao bid two hundred million gold coins. Are there any other bidders Two hundred million once, two hundred million twice...

The auctioneer, too tired even to utter superfluous words, was ready to bring down the hammer and finalize this auction.

And just then, another voice spoke.

"I bid 250 million!"

All present were taken aback. Following the sound, they saw a figure wearing a ghost mask raise a sign in its hand.

It was Ye Bufan who made the bid. He had just used his divine sense to scan over the scroll of martial arts, and it emanated an aura of antiquity and grandeur.

Whether it's useful or not, whether it can be practiced or not, one thing is certain: this scroll of martial arts techniques is definitely not a fake.

As a result, his interest became even more intense, and he immediately added another fifty million.

Seeing everyone look at him, he casually said: "I'm also interested in this thing and want to take it back to play with."

"Is this guy crazy He's following in Li D Shao's footsteps, spending so much money on a toy..."

"I bet this guy is from out of town and clueless about the Heavenly Fire Tempering Technique. He probably thinks he got a steal buying a Heaven-rank technique for 25 million..."

"Foolish! Young Master Li is rich, he's just an idiot…"

The crowd buzzed with discussion once more. Everyone agreed that there was no chance of striking a bargain with this scroll; it wasn't a steal at all.

After all, it has been a hundred years, and countless masters have carefully investigated this scroll of martial arts. From beginning to end, no one has ever discovered the trick inside.

There's only one possible outcome, this thing was fake to begin with and has absolutely no value whatsoever.

Seeing someone bidding against him, Li Tong turned his head to take a look.

After seeing Ye Bufan, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He then put down the bidding card in his hand and stopped speaking, apparently having lost interest in continuing the auction.

"Folks, this bidder is offering 250 million, are there any further bids"

Two hundred and fifty million once, two hundred and fifty million twice...

Finally, the auctioneer brought down his hammer, ending the bidding. Soon, a female attendant delivered the scroll of the "Fire Tempering Sutra" to Ye Bufan.end, they all fell beneath Ye Bufan's feet."It seems our plan is still solid. The Xuanyuan Pavilion is the power of the officialdom, and no matter what, it's not something Ye Bufan can contend with."A...
